Catch the Blue Wave

You have to wonder what makes people do the things they do. For instance, the terrorists in Paris killing 12 people and two police officers (unarmed) with impunity. A police officer not having even a handgun is a disgrace to himself and the people he is trying to protect. Great Britain is another place where law enforcement aren't allowed to carry a weapon. WHY?

Now I’ve heard of places here in the USA where, to be politically correct, they are going to stop having their officers carry. That is Barney Fife kind of thinking.

It seems as though we are taking away our protector's ability to protect us. Without some type of deterrent anyone on the street is better suited to stop crime in progress. Check out the American Hunter Magazine published by the National Rifle Association. Inside are stories about people who had to protect themselves from intruders, purse grabbers and 7-11 robbers. They had a weapon, knew how to use it and did.

Taking weapons out of the hands of our police force, like they have in France and England, would in essence castrate them. An officer's duty is to serve and protect the people, but in situations where they face imminent danger, their hands are tied. Without their firearms these guardians of the peace risk it all when they can't de-escalate a dangerous encounter.

There are over 780,000 police officers across the country that deserve recognition for their service on a daily basis. Show your support for law enforcement and let them know you appreciate their service.

Jim Ferguson

It all started for Jim when he was all of five years old and his father took him hunting with a Red Ryder BB gun. As he grew so did his passion for the outdoors, so if he wasn't hunting you would find him tagging along with his Grandfather to a favorite fishing hole. As the years progressed he would share that same passion with his children. Jim's idea of a romantic date was taking his wife, on their wedding anniversary, to a trophy ranch where she would go sit with him in the hunting blind. It didn't seem to matter where his career took him he always seemed to be drawn to where he was the most comfortable, outdoors. His adventures have taken him to fishing Bass tournaments, harvesting 19 of the 29 North American Big Game animals and teaching others how to read a stream when fly fishing. When he is not visiting Alaska, just one more time, you will find him sharing his passion with others on the radio....hoping they will be drawn into the world that he dearly loves
